At The Mountains of Madness (T)

At the Mountains of Madness is a science fiction-horror novella by American author H. P. Lovecraft, written in February/March 1931 and rejected that year by Weird Tales editor Farnsworth Wright on the grounds of its length.[1] It was originally serialized in the February, March, and April 1936 issues of Astounding Stories. It has been reproduced in numerous collections.

The story details the events of a disastrous expedition to the Antarctic continent in September 1930, and what was found there by a group of explorers led by the narrator, Dr. William Dyer of Miskatonic University. Throughout the story, Dyer details a series of previously untold events in the hope of deterring another group of explorers who wish to return to the continent.

Selecting "Help" gives the toucher a message telling them how to operate the book

Reading hovertext deactivates when you close the book or if you use reset, otherwise it just keeps on going.

Touch along the right edge while open to navigate directly in the book instead of turning the pages one by one. Touching the edge near to the bottom near the beginning, touching the edge near the top puts you near the end. Flip pages from there.

Hovertext shows the page number appears when you use the right edge to navigate, The hovertext disappears when you click the pages or close the book or reset.

Wear on right hand or right forearm to activate holding animation (hold_r_handgun). No animation if attached to HUD.

The page edges preloads the next three pages as well as the previous page, so the textures render faster. If you use the navigation edge, the pages will render slightly slower because they will not have been pre-rendered.

The book can be worn as a HUD to read that way or rezzed in world. You will not be able to use the edge close or navigator feature when it is attached as a HUD. When the book is open and worn as a hud, you can resize it to your screen.

There are two versions: Transfer Only and Copy-Mod. A Transfer Only is included with the Copy-Mod version so you can give one away. Transfer Only version is also sold separately.

With the Transfer Only version, the prim book is modify-transfer, the notecards are copy-transfer, the script is transfer only.

With the Copy-Mod version, the prim book is copy-mod-no transfer, in case you need to add scripts to put it into a rezzer or something. The script is copy only. The notecards are copy-transfer.

Enjoy, have fun.
